5. Y2J Chris Jericho - BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!!!!!!! He has all the tools, and I think SHOULD be World Champ right now.
4. Hulk Hogan - I know a LOT of people don't like The Hulkster for many reasons. But if it were'nt for him wrestling would'nt be where it is today.
3. The Rock - Simply great.
2. Stone Cold Steve Austin- Come'on, when the Attitude era was in full swing. I think EVERYONE loved Austin.
1. Mankind/Cactus Jack/Dude Love/ Mick Foley - King of Hardcore and truly a legend.

Erm....
1. Chris Jericho 2. Shawn Michaels 3. Rhyno 4. Road Dogg 5. Lita
For many, many reasons....
Lita, changed women's wrestling, proved you don't need to be skirt or Chyna to make it, paved the way for people like Trish and Victoria...
Road Dogg, when I first started watching, he was my favourite, I started off thinking he was an arrogant degenrate perv. I still think he is, but I love him for it.
As for the other three....well they were awesome live, I mean absolutely sensational...I would pay to see those three anytime.
Close calls...Ric Flair, Foley and Taker.

1. Rob Van Dam 2. Sabu 3. Tazz 4. HBK 5. The Undertaker
Rob - Just awesome. I grew up watching ECW. i saw the debut of the van terminator live... just amazing Sabu - I still see him live @ indy shows. Still really cool. Last match he fought Raven and he did a shooting star off the ring truck. yea. Tazz - ECW legend.. awesomeness. HBK - no explanation needed The Undertaker - he was so cool in his early days, especially with the kane feud and the ministry of darkness.
Close: raven stone cold kevin nash scott hall.

5. Undertaker 4. RVD 3. Hogan 2. Foley 1. HBK
Undertaker- Man, he was just awesome. I liked him as the dead man and ABA. Just a cool dude.
RVD- Some insane moves. Like Matt said, the Van Terminator is fuggin sweet. I remember one match where he did a flip from the top rope all the way over the barrier into like the 4th row.
Hogan- I was born during the peak of HULKAMANIA... need I say more?
Foley- Hardcore Legend. A wrestler I truely respect.
HBK- SHAWN MIKELS BAH GAWD! He just kicks ass. I dont need to say more than that.

1. Ric Flair- He's just incredible in the ring. He might not be as good now as he is today, but in his prime, nobody can beat him. If you don't believe me, go buy the Ric Flair DVD.
2. Hulk Hogan- He's the guy who put wrestling back on the map in this country. He might not have the greatest moves ever, but he was so charismatic.
3. Ricky Steamboat- He proved to me that you don't have to be the biggest guy in the ring to be the best, he was just lightning fast and quick and had good chemistry with a lot of guys.
4. Andre the Giant- The greatest big man of all time. Yeah, a lot of you guys think he's overrated, but he really wasn't. He was just a good wrestler and a great guy.
5. Bret Hart- If he's not on your list then you don't know wrestling. Maybe the best technical wrestler of all time. He was just that damn good, and he's been through some tragic stuff over the last five years, that's why he's that good.
Close calls:
Mick Foley Terry Funk Jimmy Snuka Jake Roberts Shawn Michaels

5. The Rock - Not the absolute best in the ring, but pretty damn good. And he is -the- most charismatic mic worker EVER IMO.
4. Chris Jericho - Great on the mic, great in the ring, all around awesome. Totally underrated.
3. Rob Van Dam - He does some wicked sh#t. He probably embodies ECW best of the many ECW alumni.
2. Chris Benoit - Amazing all-around skill. One of THE BEST pure wrestlers of all time. He's always been supremely underrated and should have been the champion long before this past year.
1. Mick Foley - He is a hardcore legend. Great on the mic, can take so much punishment and makes matches enjoyable for all. He's a great guy outside of wrestling as well, judging from his books.
Close Calls: Raven Rhyno Stone Cold Kane Hogan

Oh man, I have to choose only 5? EEEEH! EEEEH!
5. Tazz - Although I don't talk about him as much as other wrestlers, Tazz has always been high on my list.
4. Chris Jericho - Skilled all around. That is all that needs to be said.
3. Mankind - Basicly this goes for all of the Foley personas, but I always liked Mankind the best. Both when he was evil and when he was goofey. Mankind rules. That is all I have to say.
2. Sting - THE reason why I started to watch wrestling. Even back when he had a blond flattop and wore pink tights he was still my favorite wrestler. Now moreso than ever he's one of my favorites.
1. Kane - You guys should have seen this one coming. What can I say? I just love the character. I don't think they could have picked a better person to play him. Kane may not be the greatest wrestler in the world, but I do think he is one of the best big man wrestlers around today.

Here are mine...
5) Shawn Michaels/Bret Hart - Both men proved that you don't have to be 6 foot tall and 300 pounds to make it. Up-side, better quality matches. Down-side, big ratings drop at lack of superhuman physiques.
4) Chris Benoit - Just one of the finest technicians to come along in such a long time. So he isn't good on the mic...so what? Does everyone expect him to pose like Hogan or dance like HBK? Majorly underrated.
3) Hulk Hogan - Pretty much the guy that made wrestling popular in the '80's, and the reason I watched as a kid. No matter what you say about his wrestling, his interviews were awesome.
2) Ric Flair - What can I say? His interviews are fuggin awesome, his matches were even better. He was and still is THE MAN. 'Nuff said.
1) Tazz - Should have seen this coming too...another fine wrestler, legit badass, never kissed anybody's ass to get to where he is. Should have been in WWF main events as soon as he debuted, but as usual, Vince won't put anything that isn't his creation over WWF/WWE talent.

1 5. Bret Hart- If he's not on your list then you don't know wrestling. Does'nt mean someone "does'nt know wrestling" This is just a Top 5 Favorites. I could like The Godfather over Bret Hart just because I liked his character better. Silly Billy.

What I meant by that is not in your top 5, but just in any list period. It doesn't matter if it's 100 or 1,000, if he's not on that list, then you need to study the game more.

I'm not really a fan of The Hitman, considering I never really saw his work. So he's in none of my lists.
